Tzatziki - Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce

Tzatziki - Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce


Today I�m bringing you a quick and easy sauce recipe: the tzatziki.

The tzatziki is a yogurt and cucumber sauce typical of the Greek and Turkish cuisine, served cold as an accompaniment to other dishes. It is one of the sauces that I like the most and we often use it to accompany burgers, keftas, salads, kebabs ... 

This is my homemade version.


Ingredients

1  unsweetened Greek yogurt - 125 g
 �  medium cucumber, grated
1 medium garlic finely chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
A pinch of ground cumin
Dill,  if you have it fresh better.
Salt
A few drops of olive oil
A few drops of wine vinegar or lemon juice.


Directions

Tzatziki - Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce

Put in a bowl the unsweetened Greek yogurt and add the grated cucumber, drained, and the minced garlic. Mix.

Add two tablespoons mayonnaise,  a teaspoon mustard,  salt,  ground cumin and dill. We put a lot of dill, it's the star ingredient for us.

Finally add a few drops of olive oil and a dash of wine vinegar or lemon juice.

Mix well to integrate, rectify some ingredient if necessary till the taste is as desired. 

Refrigerate until served.

Umar Akmal was the wicketkeeper, who started in spite of being in the team of Sarfraz Ahmed, and his fifth bowling option was Haris Sohail, whom Coach Waqar Younis desperately worked, making him a left-arm spinner who provided 10 overs can do.
